- the pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane may be formed by removing a single ion exchange polyelectrolyte layer from a surface thereof.
- the wording 'the ion exchange polyelectrolyte is not formed the outside of the polymer support' should be interpreted as the ion exchange polyelectrolyte may be formed on 'at least a portion of the polymer support.
- the exposure of the porous structure of the polymer support to the surface of the ion exchange polymer electrolyte composite membrane should be interpreted to mean that at least a portion of the porous structure may be exposed, and that the porous structure on the surface of the polymer support is exposed.

- the surface roughness height of the pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane may dominantly be from 200 nm to 350 nm. In an embodiment, the surface roughness height of the pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane may be from 250 nm to 350 nm, and, depending on the conditions of detachment process and a monomer used, the surface roughness height thereof may be from 300 nm to 350 nm.
- the surface roughness height may have various values, but it is a dominant expression that the above range may be included most, and can be seen as an average of the roughness height..
- the roughness average of the composite membrane may be from 10 nm to 60 nm, for example, from 25 nm to 45 nm.
- the pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane may exhibit maximum performance. Therefore, since the pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane has a higher surface roughness, a turbulence flow occurs in the solution flowing through the composite membrane, and thus, the diffusion boundary layer has a small value, thereby allowing the ions of the solution to pass through the composite membrane more easily.
- a bottleneck occurs because the solution flowing through the composite membrane flows in a laminar flow, and thus, the ions in the solution may not flow through the composite membrane as a whole, so that the diffusion boundary layer has a high value.

- the ratio of the thickness of the pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane to the thickness of the porous polymer support may be from about 1.0 to about 1.03. Since the polymer support is filled with an ion exchange polyelectrolyte, the thickness of the composite membrane may be the same as the thickness of the polymer support, or may be slightly greater than the thickness of the polymer support due to the surface roughness generated when the polymer electrolyte is removed from the surface thereof. When the thickness ratio is greater than 1.03, the polymer electrolyte is not completely removed from the surface of the composite membrane and may act as an obstacle factor for the ion exchange. For example, the thickness ratio may be from 1.0 to 1.02.

- the weight ratio of the ion exchange polyelectrolyte filling the polymer support is less than 1:0.8, the ion exchange polymer electrolyte may not sufficiently fill the polymer support, making it difficult to exhibit physical and electrochemical properties in an ion exchange membrane to be implemented.
- the weight ratio of the ion exchange polyelectrolyte filling the polymer support exceeds 1: 1.1, the polymer electrolyte remains on the surface of the composite membrane, so that the occurrence of turbulence may not be induced in the composite membrane.

Abstract
Description
- The present disclosure relates to a pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane from which a surface ion exchange polyelectrolyte has been removed, and a method of manufacturing the same.
- Ion exchange resins refer to a synthetic resin with an ion exchange capacity. In 1935, British B. A. Adams and F.L. Holmes discovered that a resin obtained by condensation of polyhydric phenol and formaldehyde and a resin obtained by condensation of m-phenylenediamine and formaldehyde exchanged ions. It was found that various ions in water can be removed by these resins. Thereafter, systematic research and production on an industrial scale thereof were started in Germany and the United States. During the World War II, in Germany, these resins were used to purify water and recover copper and ammonia in rayon factories, and in the United States, these resins were used for classification of fission products, ultra-uranium elements, and rare earth elements, etc. In addition, the purification of various substances (amino acids, antibiotics, etc.) was facilitated by ion exchange resins, and as the ion exchange membrane was developed, they played a more important role electrochemically. Currently, ion exchange membranes are widely used in the fields of fuel cells, redox flow cells, electrodialysis, desalination, ultrapure water, wastewater treatment and etc.,. In particular, due to the contribution to the decrease in the use of fossil fuels, ion exchange membranes are attracting worldwide attention as an eco-friendly new and renewable energy production clean technology. Currently, there is the rapid increase in the use of electronic products such as small laptops and mobile phones, resulting in a need for the development of long-life, high-capacity batteries and new fuel cells. Accordingly, research into ion exchange membranes, which are key materials thereof, is actively progressing.
- Meanwhile, conventional ion exchange membranes often have a separate support to improve mechanical properties, and specifically, a sheet-like ion exchange resin layer may be provided on one side of the support. However, due to problems such as the compatibility of the support and the ion exchange resin layer, peeling and separation frequently occur at the interface thereof, and accordingly, ion exchange capacity and/or mechanical properties are significantly deteriorated. In addition, in the manufacturing process of the ion exchange membrane, it is very difficult to change the configuration according to the purpose, for example, to control factors such as the thickness, electrical conductivity, and mechanical strength of the membrane, and diameter/ratio of pores.
- Accordingly, although the manufacturing process is a simple process, there is a need for research into a general purpose ion exchange membrane of which structure and properties are easily changed according to the use thereof, and which has excellent mechanical strength and durability, and at the same time, a large ion exchange capacity, a low electrical resistance, and a small diffusion coefficient, and into a process that can more easily implement such an ion exchange membrane.

- In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the manufacture of the ion

Meanwhile, when the amount of the electrolyte monomer of the quaternary ammonium salt and the amount of the sulfonic acid-containing electrolyte monomer each exceed the upper limit of the corresponding amount range, the durability of a manufactured composite membrane may be reduced. In addition, when the amount of the crosslinking agent is less than the lower limit of the range, the degree of crosslinking may be insufficient, so that the durability of the produced composite membrane may be reduced. When the amount of the crosslinking agent exceeds the upper limit of range, the degree of crosslinking may be too high and the ionic conductivity of the produced composite membrane may be significantly reduced.
- Next, In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the method of manufacturing a pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane from which the surface ion exchange polyelectrolyte has been removed includes impregnating a
porous polymer support 110 with the ionexchange precursor solution 700. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the
porous polymer support 110 is not limited as long as a material therefor is a hydrocarbon-based polymer. In an embodiment, theporous polymer support 110 may include a substance selected from polyethylene, polypropylene, polyimide, polyamideimide, polypropylene oxide, polyethersulfone, polyurethane, and combinations thereof, and is not limited thereto. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the
porous polymer support 110 may have a pore volume of 40% to 50%, a pore size of 0.07 µm to 0.1 µm, and a thickness of 8 µm to 30 µm. When the porous polymer support does not satisfy these characteristics, the ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane may not be easily manufactured. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the
porous polymer support 110 may be hydrophilized by a surfactant before being impregnated with the ionexchange precursor solution 700. In this regard, the surfactant may be any substance that has a hydrophilizing capability, and may be, for example, a substance selected from dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA), alkylbenzenesulfonic acid (ABS), linearalklybenzenesulfonic acid (LAS), alphasulfonic acid (AS), alphaolefinsulfonic acid (AOS), alcoholpolyoxyethyleneether (AE), alcoholpolyoxyethyleneethersulfonic acid (AES), and combinations thereof. For example, the surfactant may be DBSA. When the hydrophobic portion of the surfactant is combined with the hydrophobic surface of theporous polymer support 110 by hydrophobic-hydrophobic interaction, the hydrophilic portion of the surfactant may replace (or be exposed to) the surface of thepolymer support 110 so that hydrophilization can be achieved. At this time, in addition to the outer surface of theporous polymer support 110, the entire surface of pores thereof may be hydrophilized by the surfactant. Due to the hydrophilization of the entire surface of pores, the ionexchange precursor solution 700, which is hydrophilic, may effectively and easily fill the pores by hydrophilic-hydrophilic interaction. For example, the hydrophilization treatment may be performed such that theporous polymer support 110 is immersed in a solution in which 0.5 parts by weight to 1 part by weight of the surfactant is diluted in water and then dried. - Then, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for preparing the pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane from which the surface ion exchange polyelectrolyte has been removed, includes compressing an
upper film 200 and alower film 300 respectively on an upper portion and a lower portion of theporous polymer support 110 by feeding theupper film 200, theporous polymer support 110, and thelower film 300 to a compression roll. In this regard, the compression roll may include anupper compression roll 400 and alower compression roll 450, which are vertically spaced from each other. That is, there may be two compression rolls. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the
upper film 200 and thelower film 300 may each be poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET). - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the
upper film 200 and thelower film 300 may each have a thickness of about 30 µm to about 70 µm, for example, about 50 µm to about 60 µm, but the thicknesses thereof are not limited thereto. When the thickness of each of theupper film 200 and thelower film 300 is less than 30 µm, theporous polymer support 110 is not smoothly detached from theupper film 200 and thelower film 300 after the crosslinking reaction by ultraviolet rays, which will be described later, and thus, theporous polymer support 110 may be torn. On the other hand, when the thickness of each of theupper film 200 and thelower film 300 exceeds 70 µm, ultraviolet rays may not be sufficiently irradiated to theporous polymer support 110, and the crosslinking reaction may not occur sufficiently. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, regarding each of the
upper film 200 and thelower film 300, one surface of each of theupper film 200 and thelower film 300 in contact with theporous polymer support 110 may not be subjected to water-repellent treatment or may be subjected to hydrophilic treatment.. The hydrophilization treatment may be performed using, for example, silicone, polyvinyl alcohol, polyallylamine hydrochloride, polyvinylamine, polystyrene sulfonic acid, polyvinyl sulfonic acid, etc.,. In an embodiment, the hydrophilization treatment may be performed using silicone. That is, by performing a hydrophilization treatment on one surface of each of theupper film 200 and thelower film 300 in contact with theporous polymer support 110, the bonding between each of theupper film 200 and thelower film 300 and theporous polymer support 110, which has been hydrophilized by the surfactant, may be facilitated. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the compression may be performed through squeeze compression to have a value smaller than the sum of the thickness of the
porous polymer support 110 and the thicknesses of theupper film 200 and thelower film 300 fed into the compression roll. In this regard, the squeeze compression may be performed at a pressure of about 50 kgf/cm2 to about 100 kgf/cm2. In other words, by bonding theporous polymer support 110 and each of theupper film 200 and thelower film 300 more strongly through the squeeze compression, apolymer resin 710, which is formed by polymerization through crosslinking outside of theporous polymer support 110, which will be described later, may be removed by being easily transferred onto theupper film 200 and thelower film 300. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the value may be about 5 µm to about 20 µm, for example, about 10 µm to about 15 µm smaller than the sum of the thicknesses of the
porous polymer support 110, theupper film 200 and thelower film 300 which are fed to the compression roll. When the value is less than 5 µm smaller than the sum thereof, thepolymer resin 710, which is formed by polymerization through crosslinking, on the outside of theporous polymer support 110 may not be removed due to poor transfer to theupper film 200 and thelower film 300, and when the value exceeds 20 µm smaller than the sum thereof, in the following detachment process, theporous polymer support 110 may not be easily detached from theupper film 200 and thelower film 300. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the speed at which the
upper film 200, theporous polymer support 110, and thelower film 300 are fed into the compression roll may be from about 0.5 M/min to about 2 M/min, but is not limited thereto. When the speed is less than 0.5 M/min, the feeding process proceeds slowly and production efficiency may be decreased, and when the speed exceeds 2 M/min, the feeding process proceeds rapidly, and the crosslinking reaction of the ionexchange precursor solution 700 may not be smoothly performed in the subsequent process. However, the speed is not limited to this range. - Then, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for preparing the pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane from which the surface ion exchange polyelectrolyte has been removed, includes preparing a pore-filled ion exchange polymer electrolyte by crosslinking the ion
exchange precursor solution 700 by irradiating ultraviolet rays, generated by aultraviolet irradiation device 600, to theporous polymer support 110 on which theupper film 200 and thelower film 300 are compressed. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the ultraviolet rays may be irradiated to an upper portion and a lower portion of the
porous polymer support 110 on which theupper film 200 and thelower film 300 are compressed. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the ultraviolet rays to be irradiated may be classified into UVA, UVB and UVV, and the ultraviolet rays may have different wavelength ranges. In detail, UVA may have a wavelength range of about 320 nm to about 400 nm, UVB may have a wavelength range of about 280 nm to about 320 nm, and UVV may have a wavelength range of about 400 nm to about 450 nm.
- In an embodiment of the present disclosure, regarding the energy of the ultraviolet rays to be irradiated, UVA may have the energy of about 40 mW/cm2 to about 50 mW/cm2, UVB may have the energy of about 30 mW/cm2 to about 50 mW/cm2, and UVV may have the energy of about 30 mW/cm2 to about 50 mW/cm2. For example, UVA may have the energy of about 47 mW/cm2, UVB may have the energy of about 37 mW/cm2, and UVV may have the energy of about 35 mW/cm2. When the energy of the ultraviolet rays to be irradiated is less than the lower limits of the respective ranges, the crosslinking reaction of the ion
exchange precursor solution 700 may not proceed smoothly, and when the energy exceeds the upper limits of the respective ranges, the energy is too strong and thus, theporous polymer support 110, theupper film 200, and thelower film 300 may be carbonized. However, the energy of the ultraviolet rays to be irradiated is not limited thereto. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, regarding the irradiation of the ultraviolet rays, UVA may be irradiated for about 360 seconds to about 480 seconds, UVB may be irradiated for about 360 seconds to about 480 seconds, and UVV may be irradiated for about 360 seconds to 480 seconds. When the irradiation of ultraviolet rays is performed for a time less than the lower limits of the respective ranges, the crosslinking reaction of the ion
exchange precursor solution 700 may not proceed smoothly, and when the irradiation of ultraviolet rays is performed for a time exceeding the upper limits of the respective ranges, theporous polymer support 110, theupper film 200, and thelower film 300 may be carbonized. However, the irradiation time of the ultraviolet rays is not limited thereto. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the temperatures of the
porous polymer support 110, theupper film 200 and thelower film 300 during the crosslinking reaction may be about 75°C or less, for example, the temperature may be about 60°C to about 75°C. When the temperature exceeds 75°C, evaporation of the solvent in the ionexchange precursor solution 700 may be triggered and crosslinking reactions by polymerization may not be induced, and theporous polymer support 110, theupper film 200 and thelower film 300 may be carbonized. - Then, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for preparing the pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane from which the surface ion exchange polyelectrolyte has been removed, includes detaching, from a detachment roll, the
porous polymer support 110 containing the pore-filled ion exchange polymer electrolyte, theupper film 200, and thelower film 300. In this regard, the detachment roll may include anupper detachment roll 500 and alower detachment roll 550 which are vertically spaced apart from each other. That is, there may be two detachment rolls. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a
polymer resin 710, which is formed by polymerization through crosslinking, formed outside of theporous polymer support 110 may be transferred onto theupper film 200 and thelower film 300 and removed from theporous polymer support 110 through the detachment. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the interval between the
upper detachment roll 500 and thelower detachment roll 550 may equal to the sum of the thicknesses of theporous polymer support 110, theupper film 200, and thelower film 300 before being fed into the compression roll. In this regard, theporous polymer support 110 before being introduced to the compression roll refers to theporous polymer support 110 before being impregnated with the ionexchange precursor solution 700. That is, the thickness of theporous polymer support 110 may be the thickness of theporous polymer support 110 which does not include the ionexchange precursor solution 700. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the detachment may be performed by pulling the
upper film 200 and thelower film 300, which have passed the detachment roll, on the other side (i.e., pulling theupper film 200 and thelower film 300 away from the porous polymer support 110), and in this regard, the direction of the other side may be a diagonal direction from each of theupper detachment roll 500 and thelower detachment roll 550. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the method of manufacturing the ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane is performed using a roll-to-roll process, and thus, the ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane may be manufactured continuously. Accordingly, the manufacturing process is simple and costs therefor low.
- A second aspect of the present disclosure provides
a pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane from which the surface ion exchange polyelectrolyte has been removed, the pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane including: a polymer support having a porous structure; and an ion exchange polyelectrolyte impregnating the polymer support, wherein the ion exchange polyelectrolyte is not formed outside the polymer support and the porous structure of the polymer support is exposed to the surface of the ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane. - Detailed descriptions that have been provided above in connection with the first aspect, are omitted in the embodiments to be explained with respect to the second aspect. However, the detailed descriptions may be equally applied to the second aspect.
- Hereinafter, the pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane from which the surface ion exchange polyelectrolyte has been removed according to the second aspect of the present disclosure will be described in detail.
- In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane may be an anion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane or a cation exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane.
- In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane may be formed by removing a single ion exchange polyelectrolyte layer from a surface thereof.
- In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the wording 'the ion exchange polyelectrolyte is not formed the outside of the polymer support' should be interpreted as the ion exchange polyelectrolyte may be formed on 'at least a portion of the polymer support.' In addition, the exposure of the porous structure of the polymer support to the surface of the ion exchange polymer electrolyte composite membrane should be interpreted to mean that at least a portion of the porous structure may be exposed, and that the porous structure on the surface of the polymer support is exposed.
- In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane from which the surface ion exchange polyelectrolyte has been removed does not have any by-products due to the removal of a polymer resin, which is formed by polymerization through crosslinking, formed on the outside of a porous polymer support, and may be thin. In an embodiment, the thickness of the prepared composite membrane may be from about 8 µm to about 30 µm, for example, about 16 µm.
- In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane may have an area specific resistance(ASR) of about 0.35 Ω·cm2 or less. Preferably, when the composite membrane is an anion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane, the area specific resistance(ASR) thereof may be about 0.23 Ω·cm2 or less, and when the composite membrane is a cation exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane, the area specific resistance(ASR) thereof may be about 0.35 Ω·cm2 or less.
- In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane is an anion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane, an electrolyte monomer of a quaternary ammonium salt having a cationic group may be used as an electrolyte monomer, and when the pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane is a cation exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane, an electrolyte monomer of a sulfonate having an anionic group may be used as an electrolyte monomer.
- In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the surface roughness height of the pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane may dominantly be from 200 nm to 350 nm. In an embodiment, the surface roughness height of the pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane may be from 250 nm to 350 nm, and, depending on the conditions of detachment process and a monomer used, the surface roughness height thereof may be from 300 nm to 350 nm. The surface roughness height may have various values, but it is a dominant expression that the above range may be included most, and can be seen as an average of the roughness height.. Meanwhile, the roughness average of the composite membrane may be from 10 nm to 60 nm, for example, from 25 nm to 45 nm. Within the ranges, the pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane may exhibit maximum performance. Therefore, since the pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane has a higher surface roughness, a turbulence flow occurs in the solution flowing through the composite membrane, and thus, the diffusion boundary layer has a small value, thereby allowing the ions of the solution to pass through the composite membrane more easily. For example, in the case of a composite membrane with a lower surface roughness, a bottleneck occurs because the solution flowing through the composite membrane flows in a laminar flow, and thus, the ions in the solution may not flow through the composite membrane as a whole, so that the diffusion boundary layer has a high value. However, in the case of the pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane, turbulence is generated in the solution flowing through the composite membrane, so that the ions of the solution may flow through the composite membrane as a whole, so ion exchange may proceed more efficiently.
- In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the ratio of the thickness of the pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane to the thickness of the porous polymer support may be from about 1.0 to about 1.03. Since the polymer support is filled with an ion exchange polyelectrolyte, the thickness of the composite membrane may be the same as the thickness of the polymer support, or may be slightly greater than the thickness of the polymer support due to the surface roughness generated when the polymer electrolyte is removed from the surface thereof. When the thickness ratio is greater than 1.03, the polymer electrolyte is not completely removed from the surface of the composite membrane and may act as an obstacle factor for the ion exchange. For example, the thickness ratio may be from 1.0 to 1.02.
- In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a weight (mass) ratio of the polymer support to the ion exchange polyelectrolyte may 1:0.8 to 1:1.1. When the weight ratio of the ion exchange polyelectrolyte filling the polymer support is less than 1:0.8, the ion exchange polymer electrolyte may not sufficiently fill the polymer support, making it difficult to exhibit physical and electrochemical properties in an ion exchange membrane to be implemented. When the weight ratio of the ion exchange polyelectrolyte filling the polymer support exceeds 1: 1.1, the polymer electrolyte remains on the surface of the composite membrane, so that the occurrence of turbulence may not be induced in the composite membrane.
- In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the swelling degree of the pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane from which the surface ion exchange polyelectrolyte has been removed may be from 30% to 40% in the case of an anionic exchange composite membrane and from 40% to 50% in the case of a cationic exchange composite membrane. As such, the swelling degree of the composite membrane according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may be greater than that of conventional polymer electrolyte composite membranes.
- Hereinafter, examples of the present disclosure will be described in detail so that a person with ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present disclosure belongs may easily implement the present disclosure. However, the present disclosure may be implemented in various different forms and is not limited to the examples described herein.
- To prepare an anion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane, (3-acrylamidopropyl)trimethylammonium chloride, 1,4-bis(acryloyl)piperazine, and deionized water were mixed and stirred at the weight ratio of 12:1:10, and 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-phenylpropane-1-one diluted at the concentration of 10 wt% in methanol, which was used as a photoinitiator, was mixed therewith in the amount of 0.1 parts by weight to 0.5 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the resultant mixed solution.
- Then, a polyolefin porous polymer support, which was prepared by immersion in a solution, in which 0.5 parts by weight to 1 part by weight of commercially available surfactant (dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA)) was diluted in water, for one minute to two minutes, and then dried to hydrophilize the surface of pores thereof. The polyolefin porous polymer support had the thickness of 16 µm, the average pore size of 0.07 µm, and the pore volume of 45%. The polyolefin porous polymer support was impregnated with the anion ion exchange precursor solution such that the anion ion exchange precursor solution sufficiently permeated into the polyolefin porous polymer support.
- Then, in order to laminate a 50 µm-thick poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films on an upper portion and lower portion of the polyolefin porous polymer support into which the precursor solution permeates, the support and the films were fed to the upper compression roll and the lower compression roll at a rate of 1 M/min. At this time, the films were hydrophilic treated with silicone on one surface of each of the films in contact with the support before being put into the compression rolls. Meanwhile, the pressure applied by the upper compression roll and the lower compression roll was 50 kgf/cm2 so that a squeeze compression was performed, and due to the squeeze compression, the sum of the support thickness and the films was decreased by 10 µm.
- Thereafter, the support and the films fed to the compression rolls were irradiated with ultraviolet rays of about 47 mW/cm2 in the case of UVA, about 37 mW/cm2 in the case of UVB, and about 35 mW/cm2 in the case of UVV to cause crosslinking of the anion exchange polyelectrolyte solution permeated into the support, thereby synthesizing an anion exchange polyelectrolyte. At this time, the temperature of each of the support and the films was 75 °C.
- The support and the films each containing the synthesized anion exchange polyelectrolyte were separated by passing through an upper detachment roll and a lower detachment roll. In this regard, the interval between the upper detachment roll and the lower detachment roll was equal to the sum of the thickness of the porous polymer support and the thicknesses of the films before the porous polymer support and the films were fed to the compression rolls, and a polymer resin, which was formed by polymerization through crosslinking, formed on the outside of the support was transferred onto the upper film and the lower film by passing through the detachment rolls and removed. Then, the support containing the obtained synthesized anion exchange polyelectrolyte was washed several times with ultrapure water to obtain an anion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane.
- The cation exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane was prepared using the same method as the anion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane of Preparation Example 1, except that the following method was performed to prepare the cation exchange precursor solution.
- sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonate, 1,4-bis(acryloyl)piperazine, and deionized water were mixed and stirred at the weight ratio of 6:1:6, and 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-phenylpropane-1-one diluted at the concentration of 10 wt% in methanol, which was used as a photoinitiator, was mixed therewith in the amount of 0.1 parts by weight to 0.5 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the resultant mixed solution, thereby completing the preparation of a cation exchange precursor solution.
- Thereafter, a cation exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane was prepared by performing the same method as the anion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane of Preparation Example 1.
- Except that the squeeze compression was not performed, an anion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane and a cation exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane were prepared using the same method as in Preparation Examples 1 and 2.
- An anion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane (FAS) and a cation exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane (FKS) were obtained from Fuma-tech inc.
- An anion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane (AMX) and a cation exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane (CMX) were obtained from Tokuyama Inc.

This result shows that the polymer resin, which was formed by polymerization through crosslinking, formed on the surface thereof was not removed sufficiently. - The roughness of the surface of each of the anion and cation exchange polyelectrolyte composite membranes prepared according to Preparation Example 1 (
FIG. 8 ), Preparation Example 2 (FIG. 12 ) and Comparative Example 2 (FIGS. 9 and13 ), Comparative Example 3 (FIGS. 10 and14 ), and Comparative Example 4 (FIGS. 11 and15 ) was analyzed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and shown inFIGS. 8 to 15 .

In addition, the roughness averages of the anion exchange composite membrane and the cation exchange composite membrane were 27.3 nm and 43.6 nm, respectively, which was about 2 to about 27 times greater than that of Comparative Examples 2 to 4. - The characteristics of the anion and cation exchange polyelectrolyte composite membranes according to Preparation Examples 1 to 2 and Comparative Examples 2 to 4 were analyzed, and the results thereof are shown in Table 2 below.

As shown in the Table 2, it was confirmed that the anion and cation exchange electrolyte composite membranes prepared according to Preparation Examples 1 and 2 were significantly thinner, and had smaller film resistance values compared to Comparative Examples 2 to 4. In particular, as shown in Experimental Example 2, since the anion and cation exchange electrolyte composite membranes prepared according to Preparation Examples 1 and 2 has a very high roughness value, turbulence is formed in the solution flowing through the composite membranes, and thus, a diffusion boundary layer has a small value. Accordingly, it was confirmed that the anion and cation exchange electrolyte composite membranes prepared according to Preparation Examples 1 and 2 have small film resistance values.
